*This book report project contains 7 templates for the different layers of this sandwich, and the layers are stapled together to form a sandwich book. Each layer of this sandwich book report is approximately 7 inches in height and 7 inches in width. Book selection should take place prior to class starting. Students should choose a book they are very familiar with and have recently read.  

All effort is made to go through the entire writing process, however if your student is unable to complete the assignment during our class time, please let me know via email. We can make arrangements for your student to send me their final writing through the Outschool portal. 

Students are highly encouraged to submit their book reports for review. This allows for one-on-one instructor feed back to the student. Prior knowledge of book report writing is helpful, but not necessary, as these are skills we will be working on within our sessions. Class participation is highly encouraged, but not required, passive (audio) learners are welcome.
